The scheme offers collateral-free loans up to ₹2 lakh at a subsidized interest rate of 6.75% through 12 Public Sector Banks, making rooftop solar installations more accessible. Additionally, beneficiaries receive subsidies up to ₹78,000 for systems up to 3 kilowatts, significantly reducing installation costs.
